Component-based software engineering (CBSE), is an emerging development paradigm that promises to accelerate software development and to reduce costs by assembling systems from prefabricated software components. Designing, developing and maintaining components and  component-based applications for reuse is, however, a very complex process, which places high requirements not only for the component functional and non-functional properties, but also for the development organization. CBSE covers many software engineering disciplines and different techniques which still have not been fully defined, explained and exploited either from theoretical or practical points of view. CBSE has been successful in certain engineering domains, but it is still in the early stage of utilization in many other domains, in particular those which have specific requirements on different quality attributes.

The aim of the conference track is to bring together practitioners and researchers from academia and industry to improve the theories, technologies, and processes in component-based software development. We encourage submissions of both theoretical nature and experience reports from academia and especially from industry. Suggested areas of interest include, but are not restricted to:

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
The submissions should be made electronically, either in postscript or PDF format. To submit papers visit http://www.idt.mdh.se/ecbse/2004/cyber/html/submit.

The accepted paper should follow two column IEEE conference format. To get format  description and templates follow  http://www.idt.mdh.se/ecbse/2004/ecbse-mansubmit.htm  link.

Papers should not exceed 8 pages (in IEEE/CS proceedings format; 10pt, single-space, double-column) or 6000 words and include an abstract of up to 150 words. If accepted, the paper must be made available in  Camera-ready forms by June 15th, 2003, and it must be personally  presented at the EUROMICRO 2004 Conference by the author or one of the  co-authors. The presenting author(s) must pre-register (full fee) for EUROMICRO 2004 before the due date of the Camera-ready paper.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This track is an integral part of the EUROMICRO 2004 conference. The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society.
